The Giro is always the best Grand Tour but as for this TdF, two words have kept me totally involved and intrigued (at least in the mountains): Dan “FUCKING” Martin—-okay … three words but I did not want anyone confused with Tony Martin.

Here’s his quote at the finish today: Reporter says–You would be in yellow if not for that stage 9 crash. Martin replies: It’s all ‘What if’, you know? I might have been in yellow and then lost five minutes because everyone attacks the hell out of me. The situation is…

So hoping that Danny Boy makes back his 1:15 loss. He would be in 3rd if he finished with the lead group and not with Quintana’s group. Really warmed to Martin this year. He’s probably my most liked rider right now.
